# "Judging the News" - September 29, 1928 This satirical page combines brief political commentary with an illustrated cartoon titled "Love's Young Dream" (1928). The commentary mocks several contemporary figures and events: Harvard's president receiving a $75,000 salary while avoiding quarterback duty; the League of Nations' referral of Costa Rica (relating to the Monroe Doctrine); and debates over Canadian liquor control and Al Smith's proposal to amend the Constitution regarding Prohibition. The main cartoon depicts a young couple's romantic fantasy, with the woman imagining idealized scenes while reality intrudes—likely satirizing youthful optimism about love against harsh real-world circumstances. The contrast between her dreams (shown in the thought bubble with pastoral scenes) and their actual modest circumstances reflects 1920s social commentary on romance and economic reality during the pre-Depression era.
